Pre-Nuptial

My sister in law and her fiancee had their pre-nuptial yesterday. It was a day long event and they brought along the photographer, the videographer and the make-up artist for the shoot. The pre-nup was held at a exclusive resort in the South. The view was spectacular with the mountains and lake as the backdrop. There was heavy rains the day before because of a storm so they had a scare that the pre-nup wouldn't push through. But they were blessed, because during the shoot, the weather is perfect. Looking at the background, I already see myself Migrating in Canada. The mountains would be a norm and there are more exciting views to see. I can't wait!

Preparations

Migrating in Canada requires a lot of work. Last night I was browsing the Toronto area searching for a place to stay when I land. It's never easy. First of all, I'm not familiar of the geography of Ontario. I'm still familiarizing myself as to where the downtown is, the subway, the bus stops, the shopping area, the schools ... geesh. Next in line is to look for work. It's gonna be a busy months ahead of me.

VISA

Last Saturday, I received my long awaited visa. After 12 months, I now have the maple leaf stamp and I can now pursue my dream of Migrating in Canada. The process was simple yet the excitement is really on the waiting. From Day 1, I always dreamt of getting that visa. I checked diligently to see if my status change. I ensure that my medicals are ok. Finally, when the passport request was made, I was ecstatic! This is real happiness!

I love these four letters

Yesterday was the day I was waiting for the past 12 months. The VISA finally arrived. It was 8:00 in the morning when the delivery man knocked in front. I was still sleepy that time because my son had fever the previous night and I was up on most of it. Despite the throbbing I feel, I rushed down to see the package. Lo and Behold... The experience of receiving it made me realize that this is the start of my dreams. Migrating in Canada was just a late dream. Now visiting the different Canada Provinces is also part of my agenda. I love this day!

Having the house fixed

I'm tired. A few weeks back, we had a minor repair on the house that we are living at. Anything that has to do cement creates havoc inside the house. When you are going to have your house renovated, be sure that you are prepared for the uncomfortable situation that you will be in during the construction. Migrating in Canada will be another house situation for us. Have to get a house or flat, furnished it if its not provided for, know the new neighbors ... It's really a big adjustment for all of us.

Fish Kill

500 metric tons of Fish were netted out of the Taal lake as a result of the massive fish kill. Every year, between the months of May and June, this phenomenon occurs. They say that the oxygen loss contributes to this. I had a venture on Fish Farming before and I also experienced this before. It's a big dent in the business but fish farmers can recover. I will miss the lake, the fish farm, the caretakers ... Migrating to Canada is a huge step for me and there are things that I have to sacrifice in order to reach that dream.

Car Insurance

Car insurance here in my country is cheap compared to Canada. Add the fact that having no central database for accidents, I can claim whenever I want. Not so in Canada. I'm already having second thoughts of getting a car there. It will only mean extra dent on my expense list. I wonder which Canada Province has the transport system where I will no longer have the need to get my own car.
